Questions:
I’m using dotNET C# to communicate with Excel 2003.
I’m trying to change the print margins of the document, but the values that I put in, don’t correspond to the margin values that Excel then uses…
xls.PageSetup setup = ws.PageSetup;
setup.Orientation = xls.XlPageOrientation.xlLandscape;
//Standard margins (Top - Bottom - Left - Right):
// 2.5 - 2.5 - 1.9 - 1.9
setup.BottomMargin = 1.0;
setup.TopMargin = 1.0;
setup.LeftMargin = 1.0;
setup.RightMargin = 1.0;
//Excel gives me: 0.0 - 0.0 - 0.0 - 0.0
setup.BottomMargin = 20.0;
setup.TopMargin = 20.0;
setup.LeftMargin = 20.0;
setup.RightMargin = 20.0;
//Now Excel gives me: 0.7 - 0.7 - 0.7 - 0.7
setup.BottomMargin = 30.0;
setup.TopMargin = 30.0;
setup.LeftMargin = 30.0;
setup.RightMargin = 30.0;
//Now Excel gives me: 1.1 - 1.1 - 1.1 - 1.1
As you can see, Excel does change its margins, but it doesn’t correspond to the double I’m putting in.
Is there a factor that I’m missing?
Many thanks for your feedback!
How to&Answers:
Margins are set or returned in points. Use the InchesToPoints method or the CentimetersToPoints method to convert measurements from inches or centimeters.
Hope this helps
